bear/doll carriers

**Just so you don’t think I’m some sort of Supermom, most of the projects I’m posting in the next few weeks were made before I had Ava. Just wanted to clear that up. We have lots of junk all over our floors and laundry to be folded over here. (and a baby to be snuggled so it’s not all bad!) Not much sewing going on! 😉

I got my hands on a copy of the Oliver + S Little Things to Sew book book last month, and since I mainly bought it to make the doll/bear carrier, I had one whipped up within 24 hours of it arriving.

Excited much? I just knew that Miss C would LOVE this. (I was right…more on that later) Flipping through the book, I found many more projects that I can’t wait to try!

It was a really quick sew, and so fun to make! I’ll admit, I like having more pictures than the book has (I’m very visual, hence my millions of pics in my tutorials), but reading through the instructions twice was plenty.

The sizing is perfect for my little gal, and she absolutely FLIPPED out when I put it on her. Then proceeded to wear it the rest of the day and threw a mini fit when we had to take it off for lunch. She loves her babies (especially “baby ‘Rora”) so she’s in love with being little miss mommy.

Plus that pocket is the perfect size for Squinkies! The pocket fabric is leftover from the nursery, strap fabric is from LOoong ago (aka no clue where from or what line), and those adorable handmade yellow buttons are from my sponsor Button Mad!

Now onto Sadie’s, cause you know she requested one about 1 second after seeing Charlotte’s!

She pretty much breathed down my neck until I finished it, lol. She really enjoys being a part of picking out the fabric (with minimal guidance from me, of course), and I love how it coordinates with Charlotte’s.

That is a beautiful doll carrier! I can imagine your C & S loved it! And I just have to tell you I think you have the cutest kids. Seriously, I was having the worst morning (half an hour late for school because my daughter just REFUSED to put on her socks for over 45 minutes!!! I yelled (more like screamed ) at her and felt rotten about that and then some driver had the nerve to HONK at me!! It tipped me over the edge), but then seeing Charlotte’s completely adorable grin (I love how she smiles so hard!) made me better. Thank you

I love that first pic and the smile–it cracks me up! I remember my daughter at about 2 1/2 thought that she needed to cock her head sideways for pictures. It is so funny to see the pics with her head craned sideways–like the “tip me over and pour me out”. I don’t know why???? Your girls are such cuties! Have a great holiday season with your girls and hubby!

the photos of your girls always kill me! They are like little dolls themselves! My girls have doll carriers, and every now and then they pull em out, and suddenly I can’t pry the dolls off of them. Lol – little mamas.

Ohh, look at your babies with their babies!I need to get around to making one of these. At first I was totally disinterested in this project, but the more I saw them sewn up, the more I loved them. Isn’t that always how it goes?

I like the valuable information you provide in your articles.I’ll bookmark your weblog and check again here regularly. I’m quite certain I’ll learn plenty of new stuff right here! Good luck for the next!Stop by my web page :: piano lessons

First of all, love your disclaimer at the beginning Hope you are enjoying your sweet new baby girl! Secondly, I love these pictures of your girls with the doll carriers! When you posted this on instagram, I instantly decided I needed this book!! Crossing my fingers it is waiting for me under the Christmas tree!!

oh my gosh they are tooo! cute. I got this book from the library today because I want to make the doll carrier. It says it fits 3+ but I have a 16 month old who would love one so I hope the pattern doesn’t need too much adjusting. There are lots of other things I want to make too so I may just have to purchase a copy and work my way through pretty much everything.

Can you tell I’m catching up on my blog reading (on a Friday night)? Love these. Love that you whipped up two lickety split. I should make one of these for O soon, I think – he could carry his giant stuffed Tigger around! Ha!

a Chi straightener for most of my life and I thought it was the best. This past Christmas I bought this straightener for my mom. I used it all month and the difference is amazing. I don’t know if it’s

because of the titanium plates or the degree to which it heats, but it straightens the hair in one pass through and leaves it SO SHINY. My hair stays straight longer after using this, too. I love it and have

I never thought it could be possible. I own about 7-9 hair straighteners from cheap to deluxe. Not one of them could

penetrate my thick, curly hair enough to do anything other than heat up the cuticle and make sizzling noises. This iron is going to change my life. I spent 700 on ionic straightening, and this iron works

better!!!! If you spend any amount of time wielding a heavy blow dryer, forget about it. I used this iron on Air-dried, curly hair. I wish I could upload a digital photo- I look like a hair commercial.

Funny! I have been a reader of yours for a long time, and I just saw this tutorial on Pinterest. The funny part is that it didn’t mention your name or website, but I clicked because I recognized your kids! I love your stuff, especially what your wore! Adorable you!!! Plus you always make me smile. Have a lovely day, and God bless!

I found this post on Pinterest. Just have to tell you that your daughters are SO adorable. I am planning to make these baby carriers for all the little girls in my family this Christmas. Thanks for the inspiration.
